    6' dish for 125W

    The issue is I don't have a c-band dish yet. I can source a 6' locally but 8' or larger is going to have to be ordered online (crazy shipping fees). If I can make do with a 6' I'd rather save the $400ish and go that route :)

    6' dish for 125W

    Hey All, Wondering what you guys think about using a 6' dish for 125W. I'm specifically interested in NWCN on 3900. According to the footprint I should have no trouble with a 180cm dish, however I have read a lot about adjacent satellite interference being an issue with these smaller dishes...

    Weak signal with PBS on MicroHD

    Thanks for all the replies guys, at least I'm not alone with these issues. I will try re-peaking the dish, although it should be pretty close to optimized since I'm using Diseqc 1.2 and setting manual positions for each satellite. Failing that I guess I'll just hold onto the AzBox and use that...

    Weak signal with PBS on MicroHD

    Hi Raine, Thanks for the quality reference, at least I know the readings are not completely out to lunch. No model number for the LNB unfortunately since it's just a generic model. It is a linear LNB (at least that's how I've been setting it up and it seems to work fine). I have the same...

    Weak signal with PBS on MicroHD

    Yup, 10750 other satellites work fine with the same LO frequency (including the DVB-S2 transponders for NBC on 103W which are usually the weakest and most difficult to pull in).

    Weak signal with PBS on MicroHD

    Hi all, Still messing around with my MicroHD and finally got it tracking satellites correctly with the motorized dish and just having a few issues with PBS on 125W. When I lock in on 125W I receive a really low signal on TP 12180 - the quality reading seems to jump all over the place with a...

    MicroHD Reboot loop when using motor

    Thanks for the reply, I managed to figure out that you need to have all satellites selected in the "Satellite List" menu before the dish will move. I (incorrectly) assumed the selection in the "Satellite List" was only for setup and I was manually de-selecting them after scanning in the channels.

    MicroHD Reboot loop when using motor

    Hi Guys, I'm having one heck of a time trying to get my MicroHD working with a Diseqc 1.2 motor. After bricking it a few weeks ago I finally re-flashed the udf file and restored the receiver to a working state using a USB-to-TTL cable, however, whenever I try and setup multiple satellites...

    MicroHD stopped working

    Thanks for the replies. Definitely seems to be stuck in a reboot loop (just noticed that the LED will turn red, then solid green for a while and then back to red). I guess I'll order one of the TTL cables to de-brick. Seems like the firmware is kinda flaky if it's this easy to corrupt the...

    MicroHD stopped working

    I was trying to setup my MicroHD to work with Diseqc 1.2 this morning and after I saved my second satellite position the receiver locked up. I unplugged the unit for about 30 seconds and now when it powers on I see a flash of the main screen for about 2 seconds then the TV reports "no signal."...

    GeoSat PRO MicroHD DVB-S2

    Thanks for the suggestion primestar, After I updated the firmware it found the needed transponder on the first try.

    GeoSat PRO MicroHD DVB-S2

    I'm running the software it came with out of the box. The information page says TDV10290-1-0-2-0 and the date looks like 2012-05-25. I will update the firmware and keep my fingers crossed

    GeoSat PRO MicroHD DVB-S2

    Hi Guys, I recently purchased the GeoSAT MicroHD and was just getting around to setting it up. I'm trying to scan in the Reuters news service on 113W but can't figure out how to add a DVB-S2 transponder. I've already tried a blind scan and the receiver didn't find the transponder. When I use...

    Coolsat 8000HD MPEG4?

    Thanks Guys, The channel is acting very strangely. After I posted they aired a feed and the signal was consistent throughout and then stopped blinking on and off even after they went back to the slate. Today after rebooting my receiver it's back to blinking on and off again. The channel does...

    Coolsat 8000HD MPEG4?

    Any way you can check to see if they work with the Reuters Live service? The Coolsat must work with MPEG4 because I can watch the PBS channels on 125W (just checked) wondering if there's something up with the channel.
